The war that has been going on for almost three years between Russia and Ukraine has become more dangerous. Earlier on Thursday, on the orders of Vladimir Putin, the Russian military used an intercontinental missile used in nuclear war. Ukraine has said that this is the first time since the start of the war that Russia has used an ICBM. At the same time, missiles have also been bombarded on Russia. The Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement that it was attacked by two Storm Shadow missiles, six rockets and 67 drones, although all were destroyed in the air by air defense systems.
The war between Russia and Ukraine will complete 1000 days on 24th November. The war that has been going on for so long has now become more dangerous. Recently America had allowed Ukraine to release its missiles inside Russia. After this permission of America, the chances of a world war between Russia and Ukraine have increased. Putin also changed his nuclear policy and on Thursday fired an ICBM missile for the first time in Ukraine. The range of this missile is about 9000 kilometers. It is used in nuclear war. This is the first time in this war that started in February 2022, this missile has been used.
Shower of missiles and rockets on Russia
The Russian Defense Ministry said on Thursday that its air defense systems destroyed two British-made ‘Storm Shadow’ missiles, six HIMARS rockets and 67 drones. The announcement was made in a daily briefing by the ministry on “special military operations” in Ukraine. It did not say when and where exactly the incident occurred or at whom the missiles were fired. This is not Moscow’s first public announcement of downing ‘Storm Shadow’ missiles. Russia had earlier also talked about destroying some such missiles in its occupied Crimea peninsula.
ICBM missile attack on Ukraine
Earlier, Ukraine has said that Russia used an intercontinental missile (ICBM) for the first time in war by targeting the Ukrainian city of Dnipro last night. It was not clear what type of missile was fired, but Ukraine’s air force said in a statement on Telegram on Thursday that it was fired from Russia’s Astrakhan region. The development comes as the war has taken a more international dimension with North Korean troops arriving to aid Russia on the battlefield.
